BIC: This all begins at the start of the new school year for the girls, their second year of high school. Everything seems subdued since the battle with Galaxia. Unlike the past, in which everything was set right after they defeated their enemy, that was not the case this time. The earlier attacks in which people had their star seed removed happened so early on, that they could not be reunited with their owners, so many people died and stayed then, including Mamoru Chiba. Cause of his death, Chibi Moon soon faded away after Galaxia was defeated.

The rest of the world continued on as if nothing had happened, but the Sailor Scouts and their allies knew what had happened and retained all memories, including those of Chibi Usa.

While most of the scouts continued to try and live out their lives as normal as they can, a few had left in hopes of improving themselves so that such tragedies did not have to happen again. Rei had gone to a spiritual retreat in hope of improving her psychic powers. Makoto went to a martial arts school to improve her fighting skills. The rest of the girls continue to go to school. As a precaution, one of the girls is usually with Usagi, to make sure she doesn't go into deep depression.

Michiru and Haruka still live together, home-schooling Hotaru, who also seems to suffer from depression as a result of loosing her best friend and having everyone but the Sailor Scouts deny she ever existed. She visits Usagi whenever she gets the chance since she feels she is the only one who can understand how she feels.

It's the second week of school and classes are over. Ami and Usagi are walking away from the school and Ami, though a bit out of character, suggest they go to the Crown Arcade to relax a little.

Kaen stood in front of the new game pressing buttons with expert timing, the character on screen jumping, dogging, and fighting the mass of monsters. He loved video games, and had been at this new machine since the school bell let class out.

The red spiky hair on his head, was swept back. And he stood over a head taller than most Japanese people. And despite spending most of his time in the arcade his skin was rather tan.

Beating the level he was on the game went into a move mode. Having died before in a higher level Kaen had seen this one before, and took a moment to look around the room. Grey eyes looking to the door where his new bosses just left from. He considered what had to be done and sighed.

Kaen's attention went back to the game as the movie came to an end. And the monsters started to swarm again. And he thought to him self. "The good guy has to do hard work. But it is up to us to do it."

*Hotaru walked down the street silently, not really paying attention to her surroundings as she walked from her house to the school to find Usagi. She was feeling a bit down again, and though Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama did what they could to help she just couldn't shake it this time. Her train of thought was interrupted by her bumping into someone walking out of Crown Arcade*

"Oh, sorry. I should have been paying better attention."

*The person was already walking on, saying nothing to Hotaru. She continued on towards the school, looking for Usagi and whoever was with her today*

Mina ran up to Usagi with Artemis following behind her. Her long blonde hair flaired the opposite direction as she stopped. "Usagi, I have an idea." She grabbed up a flyer she had found from her pocket. "There's this contest out," she said with a smile. "And it seems like it would be fun."

Mina showed the flyer. On it was written in blue, wavy letters was "find the poltergeist." On it showed a girl with blue hair and a blue hat with two tailing peices of cloth with bells on it.

"It says that if you get a good picture of her you'll get a prize," Minako said smiling. "Plus she only comes out to play in the park only during a rain storm." She held up one finger holding the flyer still. "I bet if we had Rei we could get the best picture of her."

Edit: ((I'm putting in Artemis's bit in since I guess I play the cat too since he's with mina too))

Artemis looked up and sniffed the air. This rain poltergeist seems a bit out of wack... Maybe.... A rain drop fell on his nose and he heard a bell. He blinked and looked up seeing the same tailing cloth from the girl's hat flow out of veiw. He noticed the male they were with and stayed around.

((no Problem, you can control Artemis, though I might have to take over him on occasion))

The stranger glances over at Hotaru, feeling something odd, but shakes it's head before walking off, quite please with what it just finished doing.

As Mina gets closer, Ami waves and greats her. She listens to what she says and then she looks at the flier Mina had brought and frowns. "I don't know, a poltergeist? In the park? During a rainstorm? Seems very unlikely. It's probably some stunts for an up coming movie or show. We're heading to the arcade if you want to join us though, we can talk things over there."

Artemis looked at the roof top. He then shook his head and walked in. "Nothing," he said quietly.

Minako blinked she looked at the sky and shrugged. "I here that every time they try to catch a picture of the poltergeist they lose something like money or jewelry. Most of the time it's something they value and hold dear to them."
Meanwhile jumping roof top to roof top as graceful as possible a girl smiled happily as she stopped looking at a couple standing in the little drizzle she had loved to be in. She put a hand through her blue hair and her skin tight outfit was bizarre enough so she kept herself as unseen as possible.

"Do you see her?" the woman said to her lover.

The man looked around with his camera and shook his head. "No love, I believe I don't see her at all. She's not out today."

The wind blew gently and her hat waved in the air as well as a bell rung. The little girl blinked and her eyes opened wide.

"Turn around honey," the woman said to her interest she said tugging his sleeve.

Which one is scared.... she thought.

"There you are ghost..." He smirked with a grin.

That one's got a sickening feeling... it makes me... want to... The little girl jumped and ran straight at him with the same twisted look the man had shown her. She disappeared right as he took a picture of her with the same demonic look.

The man fell back and his eyes widened. "I got it hon."

The lady held her lover. "Well how did it turn out?"

He shook the polaroid picture and it showed on her smirk which had looked like his. "Bad... I was too close..." He sighed and felt for his wallet. "Where...." He dug in his pants. "The poltergeist... she must've taken my wallet."

The little girl tossed the wallet up and down. "Looks like I lost control again." She jumped off into the distance.

Usagi had remained rather quiet as Minako and Ami talked about the flyer of the poltergeist. With her bag in her hands, in front of her, she watched the two for a moment then glanced around. She’d read the flyer, but she wasn’t in the mood for any contests, a little unusual for Usagi. She gave a soft sigh, thinking to herself at Mina’s words, ‘I’ve already lost something dear to me…..’ The thought alone made her want to cry, but she wouldn’t, not again. But it was hard and she said quickly with a fake smile, “I’m…I’m just going to go to the arcade Ami….Mina” and with that she turned around and began to walk away. She had to appear strong for her scouts, as hard as it was and as much as she missed Mamoru and Chibi Moon, she had to.

They reach the arcade at that point, which Ami was glad to, seeing the sadness in Usagi's eyes. She looks forward and see the back of a familiar person. "Hey, isn't that Hotaru?" She raises a hand and waves as she calls out to the young girl "Hotaru!"

She has spoken to Michiru when she runs into her at the pool on occasion and was told that she too has been acting very depressed and a little odd at times.

((OOC: Lil MIss MRE, can you please PM with what is going on with the "poltergeist" I have some ideas and I want to see if I can fling her into it as well *insert evil laugh* ))

*Hotaru looked over to where the group stood, a ghost of a smile on her face*

"Hello, I was looking for you. I finished with my studies for the day... and ... well...."

*She didn't really want to say it, but she wanted the company of the other scouts. It was not easy with Chibi Usa gone, especially when most never remembered her at all. That thought made her angry, but glancing at Usagi the anger vanished into the pool of sadness once more*

When Ami had said Hotaru's name, Usagi paused just outside the arcade and turned to look where she was waving. Her eyes fell on Hotaru, seeing the girl's small smile. She recognized that sadness in Hotaru's eyes and her smile replaced itself on her own face, understanding. She stepped forward as the girl spoke and said, "and you wanted to come play me on the new game, right?" She faked sounding cheery, but she'd do anything for her scouts, and pretending she was ok for now was one of those things.

Usagi nodded, "I'm sure you will do fine Hotaru...come on" She said softly, watching her. She glanced to Ami with the same small, fake smile then let her eyes trail to Mina. She was going to ask her if something was wrong, but instead she looked back to Hotaru and said as she moved to the door, "I even bet you'll beat me..." her smile grew a bit as she spoke to Hotaru.

BIC: She looks down at Artemis and nods, making a mental note of it. Then Ami walks into the arcade with the girls. Motoki is working there are usual and greets them warmly before getting back to work.

"Hey, looks like they made a Sailor V shooting game now!" She said, trying to pick up everyone's spirits.

Usagi looked around, then looked to the new sailor v shooting game and said, "Yeah, that's it....I heard its pretty fun" She smiled at Hotaru as she took her hand, "come on then...I already have the money to play" She pulled her along to the game, wanting her mind off of everything else that had happened in their lives, if even for a short period.

Minako shook her head and walked over to the and leaned on it. She shook her head. She looked at Usagi and sighed. So this is how it's going to be for a long time.... She thought. She looked at the flyer and looked at Ami. "So how are we going to catch this lil poltergeist?"

Minako side. "I know, but it'll probably help somehow..." She looked towards Usagi's direction. "Some say time will heal, but she's just like the first day all this happened. She's stuck on that one thought. So maybe, we could check this out."

Artemis jumped up in Minako's arms. "Plus, I believe there's something fishy about this story. Something stirs in the rains now." He tilted his head. "Have you noticed that the rains are more often now?"

Minako looked outside. The sun was still shining and yet it was still drizzling.

*Hotaru stood in front of the game, looking at it uncertainly. She was serious when she said she was not good at video games, however it looked like it might be fun. She readied for the game to start and began shooting at the little enemies on screen.*
